The Alien interference of 2010 negates the entire point of 2001: the ability of Man to exist on his own, overcoming his reliance on tools for survival, by using his own intelligence.
To appreaciate 2010 as a movie, the best approach would be to treat at as an entirely separate film, with no relation to 2001 at all other than the name and the fact that several characters from 2001 appear in it.

The Model 2010 can be used to measure thickness and index for one or both films of a dual film structure (as many as four film parameters) provided the top film has a higher refractive index than the lower film.
Minimum upper/lower film index difference required: The Model 2010's dual film measurement works well even when index differences are slight (.03 or less) between the upper and lower films.
Ideally, the lower film index should be known in advance to an accuracy of ±.03, but incorrect measurement results for the lower film are highly unlikely unless the error in assumed lower film index is.06 or greater.

 Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey
The "Dawn of Man Sequence" at the beginning of the film quite explicitly covers our transition from gatherers to hunters and does it all without a word, and in the finale of the film, Kubrick has the guts to show Bowman's encounter with alien intelligence without explaining a thing.
It was also light years ahead of all film special effects that preceded it, and nothing came close to redefining the look of a "space movie" until the original Star Wars, a decade later.

 Intro to Film
Goals of the Course: FLM 2010 is designed to introduce students to the techniques and methods of sophisticated film criticism.
In addition, the course is designed to demonstrate the cinema's place among the major art forms, attesting to ways in which films of recognized significance inevitably incorporate aspects of the other arts--i.e., drama, performance (both acting and dance), narrative, painting, and music.
The primary methodology of the course is to break films down into their component features--i.e., narrative, mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, and sound; to analyze the operation of each of these constituent parts in detail; and then to return each of the parts to the whole.

 Arthur C. Clarke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As the idea developed, it was decided that the story for the film was to be loosely based on Clarke's short story "The Sentinel", written in 1948 as an entry in a BBC short story competition.
This novel was also made into a film, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, directed by Peter Hyams for release in 1984.
The film was not considered to be as revolutionary or artistic as 2001, but the reviews were still positive and it has earned over 40 million dollars since its release in North America.

 Montreal Mirror - Film : Tamala 2010
The proverbial "word on the street" has it that the Japanese cartoon feature Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space was originally conceived under the influence of gallons of codeine-heavy cough syrup.
It follows the naïve yet foulmouthed titular kitten in an astro-jumpsuit as she splits Meguro City, Tokyo (on Cat Earth, that is) for Orion, her planet of birth.
But I should flag that the film is almost entirely fl and white (or rather, a rainbow array of grey tones), punctuated by flashes of colour as assorted commercial product labels and ads pop up, pointing to Tamala's divine nature (and to the sinister ubiquity of the mega-corp).

 Jump Cut Column 2006
I like to think that what we screen here are not just good films, or great films, but are also important films in that they capture something real and pure about the culture and the people they depict.
In a sense we are programming films that act as a correction to the typical Hollywood representations of the Irish – the happy-go-lucky, loquacious Paddys, the innocent pure Colleens, and the beautiful landscapes, all that stuff – and give audiences a real sense of what it means to be Irish.
IFFS is committed to the idea that Film Festivals are an important cultural celebration, a powerful voice in our society, and increasingly play a vital role in connecting not only the local communities they serve, but the world globally.

 2010 (1984)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Clarke's novel was rather forgettable and this is one of the few examples of a story making a better film than it does a book.
Hyams has added a whole subtext of East-West tension that was not in Clarke's novel and the film's one failing is in going out by undercutting the grandiose beauty of Jupiter's transformation with banal homilies about international cooperation and universal brotherhood.
I was lucky enough to see the film in its original release in widescreen - the small screen, even letterbox format, robs the film of much of the real impact and awe it has.
